About

This site archives the Writers’ Strike Chronicles podcast and accompanying blog that served to give voice to the men and women on the picket line during the writers strike from November 4, 2007 to February 12, 2008. Both the blog and the podcast are retired from active postings.

"In an unusual act of solidarity emerging from the screenwriters’ strike, two of television’s late-night hosts, Jay Leno of NBC and Jimmy Kimmel of ABC, will appear on each other’s shows on Thursday. The appearances were confirmed by two representatives associated with several of television’s late-night shows. The two hosts and their networks will announce the arrangement on Monday, said the representatives, both of whom asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak for the hosts."
